That's why you build a ringworld instead.

Or the slightly more achievable version - Ringworld.
Conchiglie - kon-kill-ee-a (last letter rhymes with 'hay')
Little shells, each one a cup for sauce.
Colossus (The Forbin Project)
Wasn't Klein the manager defending George Harrison against the plagiarism claim against "My Sweet Lord" (vs. "He's so fine"), then Klein switched sides and was the plaintiff on behalf of the "He's so fine" writers?
Or something like that.
Cabbage, potato, and onion bake. Slice the ingredients, parboil the potatoes, then put alternating layers of onion, potato, and cabbage in a baking dish. Season each layer with salt & pepper. Pour cream over the layers (or chicken stock), then some shredded cheese over the top. Cover with alfoil and bake for about 30 minutes at 180C/350F. Take the foil off for the last 10 minutes to brown the top of the cheese.
You can get away without parboiling the potatoes but you'll need extra liquid and about 15-20 minutes longer in the oven.
Audio playback is such a low-demand process, surely a player (e.g.VLC) can spare a thread to line up playback of track 2, a few seconds before track 1 ends? It knows the exact length of the track, why can't track 2 be initiated when the audio level in track 1 drops to zero (or minus infinity dB) in the last frame?
If you choose "expert install" it asks you if you want automated updates or not.
I tried co-pilot. Once.
I asked it "why does Windows Defender peg my HDD* at 100%"
The reply was "I don't know, but here are some google searches that might help"
Microsoft's own co-pilot doesn't seem to have access to microsoft products, so now I uninstall/deactivate it every opportunity I can.
*yes, a HDD. Not ideal for performance these days, but it's the last laptop I have with a HDD, and I use it for experiments.

Ah yes, that's a concern - but I have a job in Task Scheduler that re-writes my registry tweaks - mostly changing various tasks back to "disabled". You can trigger it hourly, or on an event. As soon as a selected event - such as a telemetry switch-on - hits the event log, the "disable" script runs.
There's other ways, like taking ownership of the executables and changing permissions to lock out the "SYSTEM" account.
And pihole blocks DNS resolution of the telemetry harvesters as well. Windows update won't touch that. It's not 100% effective, but I couldn't be bothered to take it further.
